Chipmaker and tech firm Qualcomm has included biometrics security advances in its new Snapdragon 845 mobile platform.

The platform features a physically separate processor on its chipset called as the 'Secure Processing Unit.' The Secure Processing Unit stores information like the users' biometrics scans. Since use of biometrics is increasingly becoming popular, this feature has been added to enhance security.

It is also claimed by Qualcomm that on a complete charge, Snapdragon 845 will offer around four hours of Ultra HD 4K video playback and up to three hours of use of smartphone for VR and up to two days of talk time on VoLTE.
